New Balance 490v6 Women's Running Shoes
Go faster, go farther in the New Balance 490v6 Running Shoe for women. The all-new synthetic/mesh upper with no-sew material application is durable yet breathable, while the updated sole features ACTEVA cushioning supported with a durable rubber outsole.
The synthetic mesh used in the upper works to provide comfort and breathability in abundance. The mesh delivers exceptional breathable qualities as it allows cool air to enter the shoe and warm air to exit so your feet will always remain cool and comfortable. A build-up of sweat and moisture can be detrimental to your technique and the upper counters this by wicking it away to leave you distraction-free as you strive for the best in results and performance. The seamless nature of the upper helps to guard against friction and irritation while an NB Response 1.0 Performance insert adds further anatomical comfort.
Acteva resides in the midsole to supply plush underfoot cushioning and comfort. Lightweight and resilient, Acteva attenuates shock to spare your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving terrain. The moulded compound is 24% lighter than New Balance's standard compression moulded foam but boasts exceptional durability. Speed Ride technology is applied to promote a smooth, transition, improving gait efficiency.
A rubber outsole completes the 490v6, supplying durable grip and full ground contact across every road. N-Durance is strategically located under the heel to add durability. Flex grooves are etched into the outsole to allow the shoe to move with the foot rather than control it, ensuring a more comfortable and natural run.
